Do bananas cause you to dump?/leg cramps



Recommended Posts

I ate half a banana this morning. I'm one month out. I'm having trouble with leg cramps at night and my NUT told me i could eat a mashed banana during this pureed phase. But i felt sick an hour later. I am trying to figure out why. Could it be the banana? Anyone else have trouble with the sugar in bananas?

There was a post about potassium on here earlier. A lot of people said the sugar bothered them. I started having to take a supplement.

Yes, the sugar in banana can definitely cause you to dump.

If you are getting leg cramps the first question would be are you getting at least 48oz. Of Water? If you are then a potassium supplement should help.

If you are not getting your fluids this will cause cramps as well as other problems.

Yes, I get 60 Fluid ounces a day of fluids.

I guess I'll have to check into a potassium supplement : (

At this point, I'm afraid to stretch or move my legs in bed at night! Those cramps are so painful.

I LOVE BANANAS! : (

Is it because I'm just a month out, or will it stay this way, I wonder?

My PCP recommended magnesium for my muscle cramps at night. Do a little research online. I take a calcium/magnesium supplement - 2:1, at night and have had no more issues. Try this before potassium I bet it will work for you.

i am six months out and still can only eat about 1/4cup of food per setting and I am still on the potassium supplements, but I just take it when I take my multi Vitamin and I don't think twice about it. I have really bad cramps at night when I forget so I will not be trying to go off of them anytime soon.

Try it again in a few months; things change over time. Also, try just 1/2.

I start my calcium citrate pill at six weeks, on jan 11. Maybe that will help? I'll talk with my NUT again. Thanks!

We need Calcium but it is the magnesium that helps with the leg cramps.

Keep trying bananas every few weeks or a month or so. They no longer bother me and I can now eat a whole one. I will say the carbs on a banana are much higher so I don't eat them regularly, just once in a while but I love them.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
